Scientific Evidence
- Ketorolac has been extensively studied for its efficacy in managing pain. Clinical trials have shown that Ketorolac is as effective as opioids in treating acute pain, with a lower risk of addiction and respiratory depression.
- The pharmacological action of Ketorolac involves inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, resulting in analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects. By blocking the COX enzymes, Ketorolac reduces pain and inflammation at the site of injury.
- Compared to other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Ketorolac has shown similar efficacy but with a lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects. Its short duration of action makes it suitable for short-term pain management.
